Noise Reduction & Echo Cancellation
Advanced Call Quality
The upper microphone detects external noise. The inner microphone cancels out unwanted noise when you turn on the ANC function. And the lower microphone picks up and amplifies your vocals even in a crowded space.
Ambient Sound Mode
Hear Your Surroundings for Extra Safety
A press on your earbuds lets you be fully aware of your surroundings. LG FN7’s Ambient Sound Mode is useful for a quick conversation, pick up an announcement on public transportation, or cross a street. It’s a more convenient and safer way to enjoy music.

Great product!
I really like these as they give very good sound quality. They are a bit directioal and need to be ‘firing’ direct towards your inner ear to get the full frequency out of them so don’t dismiss just because you think they are tinny. The app is ok with reasonable tone adjustment but it’s probably not the best out there.
Nice soft feel case/ charger which easily slips in a pocket and good battery life.
Recommended!
Good solid wireless headphones
Overall I’m very pleased with these and would recommend. The noise cancellation is a plus and is pretty good overall. Very neat case and fast in case charging is very handy. Sound quality is good for the price point. My only niggle is they seem to drop connection when I’m moving which I’ve never had even with cheaper headphones, held a star for this.
Beautiful for a gift or personal use
Keeps the charge very well and have never run out of charge when in use on my long walks.
Noice cancellation is good and I can still enjoy a crystal clear sound when running on the treadmill. My previous earphones were either drowned by noise or used to fall out while running.
Excellent design, functionality and light weight.
Excelle
I looked around for a while for some ear buds.. and these came available on special offer for 80.
Which after reading reviews on this product and others, I felt the reviews for the LG ear buds was better.
I was taking a chance as usually only buy 20-30 pound range on head phones, do because it was Christmas thought treat self.
Once opened it and took the earbuds out, just the feel of the case they where in makes you realise they maybe good.
As I use Amazon Music and the new HD tracks they have, they sounded awesome with an amazing bass.
I use them when catching bus to and from work and just need to drown chat out, and these certainly have excellent notice cancelling feature.
The battery life is good, though always charge them at bed time and always last all day..
So as you can tell I really like them, and highly recommend them.. to which this was my first LG product and will certainly by more from LG..
Ottimo suono
Articolo corrispondente alla descrizione. Ottimo rapporto qualit prezzo. Le uso in Bluetooth per ascoltare la tv senza disturbare. Si sente veramente bene e calzano ottimamente. Per le mie esigenze di utilizzo forse la batteria un po debole, comodo il contenitore che serve anche per la ricarica, tempo di ricarica 2 ore.
Watch out! Great but...
UV Cleaning feature only works when USB-C plugged in.
Find my buds sound only plays when headphones are NOT in the case (rarely leave them outside the case).
Overall sound quality is good and battery life is good.
Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis
Das Preis-Leistungsverhltnis der Kopfhrer ist sehr gut.
Es sind aber nur vier Sterne weil mich folgende Dinge etwas stren:
– sobald man einen Kopfhrer auszieht pausiert die Wiedergabe
– die Wiedergabe ber die Kopfhrer zu starten (was laut Handbuch mglich ist) geht schwer.
– die Soundqualitt ist gut, aber nicht sehr gut.
Die Reichweite des Bluetooth betrgt in einer Wohnung etwa 20m was fr mich ausreichend ist.
Work as well as my Samsung ones
I got a free set of Samsung erebus with my new phone, but thought that I had lost those so I bought these LG ones to replace the Samsung ones. Then found the original Samsung ones. These are as good as the Samsung ones at half the price
Not a bad product for the money.
For the money this is a great product, not bad at all, quite impressed, I’d probably say slightly better than apples AirPods
Better than AirPods
Quality look and sturdiness in the ear. Great compatibility for gestures on the ear pieces and sound via the app.
Sound could be a bit louder but at near/full volume it’s fine.
Quick bacteria cleanser which is a bonus.
Was contemplating these or the ‘Air Pods Pro’ these were the winner.
Solid earbuds at a reasonable price
The app allows you to switch between active noise cancellation, which is nice, no noise cancellation, and active noise amplification – great for actually hearing people speak without having to remove your earbuds.
The sound quality is decent and the fit is fine, although I have swapped out the tips for some foam ones for a more snug fit and better sound isolation.
They wirelessly charge however do not activate the UV cleaning when charging wirelessly. The UV thing is largely a gimmick anyway, so no big loss there.
These do not support multipoint – so can only be connected to one device at a time. This was a bit of a let down as I’d like to be able to use these at work, listening to music from my phone, but having my PC interrupt with incoming VoIP calls. Alas this was not possible with these.
Ultimately I’m pleased with my purchase. These sound great and feel good.
Worth the money
I was sceptical at first because of the price.
But these are brilliant definitely worth the money.
So easy to use and sound quality is superb.
Definitely recommend
Music good, voicecall bad.
I like almost everything about these headphones from design of charging case to volume. So I would recommend them.
However I will just let you know what I didn’t like.
1. Not good for voice calls.
2. When it’s windy there is a lot of wind noise created from the holes on the outside of the earpiece.
Really great but can feel a little insecure when running
Brilliant noise cancelling, very cool and small case, works with Garmin watches. Only issue is when running they feel a little insecure, not had any problems but does mean I’m aware of them
Good option overall, just a few weaker points
Pros: comfortable, lightweight, good sized case to carry in pocket, good app features and battery life
Cons: noise cancelling is on the weaker side, you will want to use the custom sound options for most genres, on the quiet side, you’ll need ANC turned on to have a decent full sound ( decreases battery life)
Overall: there’s better options for the same region of money, but these do the job nicely and I do recommend them
One of the best, maybe even top tier in 2021
Tech is tech and this is top line at the time of writing. There are maybe only 4 others that are better, but they are also 1.5-4times the cost. The only area that this kind of falls behind is with the active Noise Canceling, it works well enough, and is worth having on, but there are better samples in other headsets that are way more cost.
Every thing else is great, and the app is the best of the lot, providing more option then any other.
Works on any Bluetooth device.
Overall good
I have used these headphones for a few days already, so, fresh opinion.
Pros:
– Build quality really good. The case has a bit different plastic but does the job well;
– Compact size;
– Fits good, even during the running;
Cons:
– Noise-cancelling is quite poor. In comparison with my Bose QC 35 II noise-canceling almost not much noticeable.
– Missing Bluetooth auto-connect feature if the earbuds are not in the charging case when you enable the Bluetooth on the phone. Auto-connect works fine when open the charging case with headphones within or when explicitly connect headphones via phone settings.
– Very annoying bug when wearing off the headphones and hold them in hand, this leads to continues random play/pause taps because of the sensitive touch button.
– Easy to drop earbud when wearing off the mask.
Good, but some annoying behaviours.
These headphones seem to be built well. There is a nice weight to the headphones.
The app allows for you to customise the EQ but I found the “immersive” profile with low noise cancellation to be ideal. No problems connecting up to my phone, which is more than I can say for some other headphones I have used.
However, they think they know better than me. They have a proximity sensor which pauses the music as soon as you take one of the headphones out, and plays every time you put one in, regardless of if you already have the other in. What this means is that taking one headphone out to talk to someone, or pay in a shop is annoying, especially if you put one in your pocket or dangle it down on a silicone strap, when the proximity sensor will constantly play and pause your music. There is no option to turn this ‘feature’ off and it’s absolutely infuriating to me personally.
Pratiche
Le ho acquistate ormai da qualche mese e posso dire che sono molto pratiche. Il rapporto qualit prezzo ottimo.
Being a bit of an audio snob I’ve Been stuck to wires for my headphone use when out and about.
Saw these on offer with 60 off…. So I grabbed one, should of waited a few hours the price dropped another 20!
But they sound great with noise cancelling on… I love my dub and these sound fantastic for what they are… With nc off however they lose a ton of low end volume, so nc on is essential and thus 5hrs or so battery life is likely your average use scenario.
Don’t forget to update the firmware and get the tone free app for the customization options.
Only downside so far… When changing from a preset eq setting in the tone free app when playing audio to a custom eq it makes a loud noise in the right ear bud, only the first time you select it.
Edit*
Anc seems to struggle when on a noisy bus…. The low end is quite suppressed .. Not really a fault imo though, it’s just that the anc can only do so much.
Does what it says on the ti
Does exactly as described in the advert , sound quality is great especially the noise reduction, very comfy in the ears , very pleased with my purchase.
Perfect wireless Bluetooth earbuds
Very useful and noise cancellation perfect, small size and good finishing, I used it for 2 weeks and the battery was great, sound quality was very nice and the app is fully compatible with iOS.
I used many many earbuds but every one have something missing, but I feel this earbuds will be the best.
You can use it with your phone or any thing have Bluetooth.
Thank you LG
Now, I want to preface by saying that these days I’ve reviewed my fair share of headphones on and off Amazon. From over ears, bone conduction, to in ears. Now I’ll say this right off the bat, these are a genuinely decent pair of earbuds, but might not be worth the price premium. As usual, let’s go through some Pros, Cons, and Neutrals.
Pros:
+ Unlike some other buds, sound quality does not take a huge dip, when using ANC or audio pass-through. I can certainly see why someone might think audio is, in fact improved by using those features. From what I can tell, audio levels are raised (one notch, on my Note10), and the sound stage is somewhat smaller (sounds like the audio is closer to you, on some tracks). This effect can be done via an EQ tweak, in its base mode, too. Clever, how this helps to compensate what’s usually a poorer listening experience with ANC-enabled devices.
+ You do not need the app to use these, or register them via an online authentication process. As someone who values privacy, this is fantastic.
+ On that note, if you do happen to want to use the app (I think you should). It DOES NOT need a bunch of permissions to be used. Considering some dodgy stuff other apps ask for (with no need), this is great. Now, it does ask for permission for location data, every time you open the app, sadly. Though, this is not needed, you can just decline/cancel, and the app functions as normal. I just kind of wish that when you say “No”, it would remember your choice. Other than that, top marks LG.
+ For 150, I think these offer (once configured) decent sound quality. In some regards it can punch above its weight, though I don’t know if that’s down to poor higher end, or just some good competition in the mid-range of buds (do note, I’m only talking about buds, wired or wireless. Proper headphones offer MUCH better performance at this price). Once you factor in the features on offer, I think this is genuinely a good pair to own.
+ The ANC is so not that great in comparison to Bose (more expensive), or Sony’s (slightly cheaper) offerings in their top end. Considering that both of them are market leaders, in this space, that is not all that shocking. I would not rely on these to drown out sounds from a TV, vacuum cleaner, or snoring, on their own. Though, the ANC, plus good isolation, and some audio playing into them, and it should do the job, in most cases.
Neutrals:
-/+ So sound quality out of the box is not spectacular. For me, out of the box it was using the “Immersion” setting. Though, literally going straight to the Custom1 preset (without changing anything else), gave me better results across the board. You can further improve this to your liking via it’s EQ sliders. Apparently these were “tuned” by some MERIDIAN person/group/company, but if this was their setting choice… yeah, no. In my opinion, Sennheiser (more expensive) still offers the best, in the sound quality department, for buds. Considering they’re, around 80 more, that should not be surprising. Though, is it 80 better? I don’t think so.
-/+ I’m someone who DOES NOT like touch controls. I absolutely hate them, and I hate the fact they’re used here. I like the feeling of a nice, tactile click, or wheel. Not to mention I hate the miss-taps. Now, that being said, these are pretty accurate. They’ve not miss-registered inputs, neither is my clothing (like hats, scarfs) registered a tap. I can’t even make a tap on purpose with my shoulder, which is… again a mixed bag (this is something I sometimes want to do). Still, why do only budget offerings have proper buttons? So annoying.
-/+ The case is kind of chunky, but better than a lot of its competition. It barely fits in my useless jeans pocket, but it does. I also kind of like how it feels in the hand. It kind of reminds me of those babybel cheeses, I used to have as a child. Holding it kind of made me nostalgic, and want to find if they’re still for sale (they are). Is that stupid? Nah.
-/+ The app allows you to modify touch commands, however not all of them can be changed, and your choices are rather limited. If you don’t like a certain command, you can always disable it entirely, which should help avoid miss-tapping, if you often (like me) do 3 taps instead of 2 (or vice versa).
-/+ Now, one feature I love, but I don’t think is implemented that well would be the audio pass-through. I love the fact that I can do this while on a walk. I don’t need to take out a bud to hear traffic, or someone talking to me. The downside seems to be that the audio coming in, is mono. Sadly, this means that although I might hear traffic, I can’t tell where it’s actually located, relevant to me, by sound alone. Kind of dangerous if you start relying on this, if traffic is busy.
Cons:
– The fit seemed to be a bit of a problem for me. Thankfully, I think the tips are standard, so I managed to get some from an older (and cheaper) pare of buds I had. LG also provides two other variants of tips, which is nice. Just make sure that you have some that fit your ear properly, to take advantage of its features (like ANC). Otherwise, they will seem lacking.
– There is no way to turn them off, without putting them back into the case. Come on LG, even my budget 30 pair can do that. Why can’t these?
– I don’t think that fancy light does anything. Right now, amongst the pandemic it kind of feels like a marketing gimmick. I won’t be relying on this to clean my buds, and would definitely suggest using some Dettol wipes, or something, after you’ve been out (and touched them). Even if it does work, it doesn’t reach the stem, which is the part you actually touch.
In conclusion, would I recommend these? Absolutely, if you want an all round good package. If you do just want one feature, be it ANC, or better sound, a particular bud can do one of them better. Can you find a bud that can do all of it, to this degree, for this price… No, I’ve looked, and right now you cannot. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to read this. If you’ve found it helpful, please let me know; If not, tell me why, so I can try and improve. Anyway, I wish you a fantastic day 🙂
Well worth their money
These LG buds have a brilliant sound nice and crisp, comfortable to wear and don’t fall out, mind you I haven’t exercised in them but they’re fine with walking and would think they’d be OK as they’re a tight fit. The noise cancellation works well. And the battery life is brilliant, really long. All in all a product worth buying.
Top quality headphones, great extra features.
I have purchased these headphones to give me some extra noise cancelling while working from home, and they’ve provided me with the perfect excuse to listen to music, put my feet up and relax – given me some much needed quiet time!!
Can’t fault the sound quality (for Work or for Music) and would highly recommend 🙂
I also think it’s amazing that the UV case kills 99.9% of bacteria, great peace of mind in times like this.
Decided to try these LG FN7 Wireless Earbuds out as I currently have an LG TV and Washing machine. My normal headphones have been Bose QuietComfort 35s, but they are far to big to go walking in, plus with working from home, they look over the top for video calls.
These FN7’s are way more discrete and ideal for walking and attending video conf calls.
The acoustic quality is brilliant and match that of my Bose ones and people on conf calls, always mention how clear the mic is on them. Battery life is also really good so it’s one less thing to keep charging and when you do need a quick charge, it only takes 5 mins for 60 mins of playtime!
The Tone Free app that you can download for either Android or iOS is brilliant! This lets you really customise everything from the sound to what happens when you tap the earphones. I can now have my music sound exactly how I like it and not how Apple thinks I should like it. The team at Meridian have pulled out all the stops to tune these to perfection.
Another big benefit is the UV Nano charging case which kills 99.9% of bacteria, you forget how many germs can be on your items, so it’s one less thing to worry about.
I would not hesitate to buy these again and already recommended them to friends and family.
Fantastic audio quality with other great features
Brilliant set of earbuds. Purchased these to replace some old head phones. Extremely comfortable, was really taken back by the amazing audio quality, the noise cancellation works perfectly and they have a really quick charge time in the case which is a great option. Awesome connectivity with the app which allows you to change the output too.
The UV cleaning built into the case is also great feature. Overall a brilliant set of earbuds.
Best sounding, most comfortable head phones that I have ever owned!
Perfect for working from home, using them for Teams/Zoom meetings. They also have a really long battery life from just a quick charge.
When I’m not using them for work the Meridian sound quality is a vast improvement my last pair of headphones combined with noise cancellation, means I no longer have to listen to the children play fighting! I also love that the headphones kill 99.9% of bacteria.
Just amazing ! Highly recommend !
With active noise cancellation at a fraction of the price of AirPod Pros you can’t ask for any more
Amazing lightweight stay in your ears even when running or working out
Highly recommend !
Worth the wait... Absolutely love them.
Been excitedly waiting for these to arrive.
Amazing sound quality and the bass boost works a treat.
You can charge them up super quick… 5mins charge does 1hr of music.
Great for going for runs as the ear buds stay in your ear.
Great product with Active Noise Cancellatio
Amazing product, I already have the LG FN6 but was keen to get these for the Active Noise Cancellation which really makes a massive difference! These are definitely a step up and great value for money.
Don’t just follow the crowd and buy the same as everyone else as they aren’t always the best – these FN7 are!
These wireless ear buds couldn’t have come at a better time whilst working from home through lockdown. The long battery life and super quick charge time means i can attend all meetings and calls confident that i won’t lose connection which can so often happen at that critical moment! I can easily switch between devices; which has given me the freedom to move away from the desk and remain fully connected with work whilst getting some much needed exercise listening to music, audio books and pod casts. At long last, I’ve now managed to get connectivity right and say good riddance to uncomfortable clunky wired earphones!
Great headphones at a reasonable cos
Love these headphones!
I previously had the FN6 but the ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) additional feature on the FN7 improves the experience even more. So much more enjoyable to shut out background noise when you are trying to listen to a podcast etc.
They look good, fit well and charge super quickly!
Top, top quality sound
The sound completely took me by surprise!
I’ve used wireless earphones for years, but needed a new pair due to my previous ones getting old and dirty – i didn’t realise how far the quality had improved. Paired with the TONE Free app i’m able to select whether i want added bass or treble at the press of a button.
On top of that the ability they have to self-clean themselves once put back in the case is a feature that i didnt think was possible and will mean that these will last a lot longer than my previous pair.
Highly recommend!
I have been really impressed with these earbuds, after owning some of the other popular earbuds on the market I have to say the fit and finish on these is excellent, really comfortable when you’re wearing them, a good quality case to keep them in and the audio quality is amazing! One of the reasons I bought them because I like Meridian audio products and I can totally hear the difference in the audio quality, really good depth of sounds, no distortion at the top end and the noise cancelling is excellent too – would totally recommend!
I never write reviews but wow – i took the plunge to get these after searching the internet for hours – no regrets at all! I’m an active person who likes to jog with my dog – the active noise cancellation allows me to immerse myself whilst still understanding my surroundings. I dont find myself shouting at the top of my lungs if i want the dog to listen to my commands in busy areas! You wont be disappointed if you purchase these, cant wait to try these out in more depth!
I bought the FN7s to replace my broken down headphones. Being an audio purist I knew about Meridian and how incredible their audio is. One of my friends got me into LG because of their soundbar which features Meridian. Listening to the earbuds, I can honestly say they sound incredible. The extra features are great to have but the audio is just astonishing. Best part is they are so versatile, whether I’m exercising, listening to music, on a conference call or watching TV they are perfect for every situation!!
Easy, comfortable, can’t go wrong!
Great quality headphones!
I wasn’t sure about wireless as never used them before but the connection is perfect and easy to pair with devices.
Favourite thing is the quick charge from the case, really impressed with the battery life!
Would highly recommend, even if you don’t like in ear headphone feel they’re super comfortable!
Amazing Bass!
A I love my music to pack a punch these earphones are perfect. I downloaded the LG tone free app and set them to Bass Boost, the results were amazing. A great buy!
Quality!
Amazing quality ear buds, purchased as an upgrade from an older set of headphones and these are by far well worth it!
Addition of the noise cancellation makes such a difference to the audio experience, that tied in with the case that cleans the bacteria especially in the current climate makes these the best earbuds I’ve owned!
Brilliant produc
A fantastic and brilliant product!
Brilliant charge, fits snug charge is just what you need listening to music all day long, and sound quality is second to none..!
Highly recommended
